Episode 326
The Darkness Returns (1)
Cringe!
Mukbi looked at Ki Woohee with puzzled eyes.
Ki Woo-hee’s complexion was pale. I finished my tea and was about to get up to go to bed, but I froze in that position.
Mukbi’s face also became serious.
“Councilman?”
“….”
“Councilor!”
“…yes.”
“Why are you doing this? “Are you sick?”
“no.”
Ki Woo-hee let out a deep sigh.
“no. “It’s not like that.”
“But why…?”
“I suddenly felt a bit unwell. “It’s just my mood, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“It’s really good, right?”
Ki Woo-hee smiled. It was a beautiful smile, but Mukbi felt that her smile was somehow awkward.
“It’s really okay. “Even if it hurts, wouldn’t a doctor be able to heal his own body?”
“That’s true, but…”
“Don’t worry. Manager Mook, please go back and rest now. “You went through a lot of trouble protecting me today.”
Mukbi smiled.
“What. “In fact, the congressman was embarrassed because he had to be the person I was talking to.”
“no. “Not really.”
“Hoho, then take a good rest. “Since we’re right next door, you didn’t forget to contact us right away if anything happened, right?”
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll go. Rest well.”
Just like that, Mukbi left the room.
dump.
Ki Woo-hee sat down on the bed.
Her complexion turned pale again. His beautifully shining blue eyes were filled with sadness, fear, and unknown sympathy.
“…Commander Yeon.”
Spiritual eyes allow one to see things that ordinary people cannot see.
An innate ability, if I had to express it, is an extra ability. Although he was born with it, it cannot be interpreted as either medical or martial arts, so it can only be explained with the cliché expression that he is divine.
Her spiritual eyes were special.
Having suffered from all kinds of people wearing masks since she was young, she hoped to be able to look into the true feelings of others.
So Youngan informed her that if what the other person said was true, it was true, and if it was false, it was false.
Of course, it wasn’t always announced. This ability, which cannot be controlled on its own, as if receiving a thrill from moment to moment, would tell Ki Woo-hee the truth he wanted and the other person’s feelings.
And in recent years, the person Ki Woo-hee most wanted to know about was Yeon Ho-jeong.
But her spiritual vision did not work for Yeon Ho-jeong. No, it didn’t work not only for Yeon Ho-jeong but also for Yeon Wi.
A person whose spiritual power is developed enough to create an absolute defense shield against a martial arts attack that breaks through human limitations cannot be peered into. Her natural ability was great, but she was by no means omnipotent.
But at this moment.
She could see and feel. It was the first time she had seen the emotions of someone so far away, but she could not help but feel the initial surprise.
Grumbling.
Transparent tears flowed down Ki Woo-hee’s cheeks.
No one will ever know why she cries.
Except for one person whom her spiritual eyes caught when she looked directly into them.

“omg! “What is this?!”
Full-sang opened his mouth wide.
The whole world is a sea of fire. Fortunately, the fire wasn’t big enough to invade the village, but if it wasn’t extinguished quickly, the area would likely double in size.
“Shit! Move quickly! “Don’t be sneaky, don’t pay attention, and hurry!”
“yes!”
About two hundred people gathered in the lightning-fast communication network were scattered in all directions. It was to transport soil and water.
It is well over a hundred miles away from the Murimmaeng, but considering the size of the entire Central Plains continent, it can be said to be quite close. This was the reason why so many people were able to gather in one contact.
Fuuuuuuu! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Yeonwi immediately went down to the center of the fire and spread tension in all directions.
The absolute power of the sword fighting machine completely protected him from the intense heat. It is said that smoke is scarier than fire, but a master’s breath is so deep and long that it far surpasses the imagination of ordinary people.
Yanwi extinguished the fire at a frightening speed using his powerful tension without even taking a breath.
“As expected, you are amazing.”
Full-sang stuck his tongue out at Yeon-wi’s quiet body.
It was not an act that was possible simply because one had strong martial arts skills. You can’t do such a ridiculous thing without eyes that can instantly see the vulnerability of where a fire broke out and the ability to read the flow of flames.
“Damn, I’m so angry it’s hard to feel the energy. “Where on earth is the practitioner?!”
Pabababak!
Full Sang climbed to the top of the largest and most intact tree in the vicinity and looked around.
For a moment his eyes widened. Strange traces were discovered on the side of Palbu Ridge that became a sea of fire.
‘Why over there?’
Everywhere else was on fire, but that place was the only one with a circular dent. If it was that large at this distance, in reality, a radius of about 20 miles would be outside the fire demon’s attack.

Full-sang shouted.
“Matriarch Yeon! It’s northeast!”
“I know.”
Even after falling for a long time, Yeonwi’s calm voice softly penetrated Moonjeongsang’s ears. It was amazing endurance.
“I felt the strength of the hero. It’s a lot better than I thought. In that case, the priority right now is to put out the fire first.”
“More of our bandits are coming! “We can do it!”
“Ah yes. I just plan to suppress the fire in the central area first for quick suppression. “Don’t worry, it will end soon.”
“Oh yeah!”
Yeonwi’s words were accurate.
When he caught the center of the fire, the flow of fire stopped. Even if it is an artificially created fire, fire is fire, but when the energy flow was cut off in the middle, the fierce fire slowed down significantly.
Wow!
After finishing his work, Yeonwi immediately went to where Yeonhojeong was.
‘Are you okay, guy?’
No matter how Yeonwi you are, it is difficult to find Yeonhojeong’s strength from this distance. This was possible because the source of internal power was the same, allowing for more sensitive feelings.
Whoa!
Yeonwi immediately closed the distance and immediately felt the moisture that made it difficult to breathe.
Even though the fire was quite strong, the humidity was thick here. It was ridiculous.
‘Is this Hyeonmugi, the source of water energy that Hojeong spoke of?’
Paaang!
As Yeonwi came down to the source of the moisture, she finally saw her son.
‘…!!’
Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.
Grumble! Grumble!
The menacing sound of a fire burning far away tickled my ears.
The sky was dark, but the surroundings were bright because of the fires burning everywhere. However, the area where Yeonwi was looking seemed so dark that neither fire nor moonlight could reach it.
Yeonhojeong was there.
His blood-covered body held an ax in his hand that was dripping with blood.
The hair that had become scattered from the fierce battle was very wet and stuck to the nape of the neck and shoulders. It was truly a miserable sight.
However, Yeonwi could not easily move his feet.
Slurp.
Like an illusion or a fantasy.
Darkness was wandering like fog around Yeonhojeong, where he stood with his bloodied body holding an ax and looked up at the sky.
It must be an illusion. But even though I knew it was an illusion, the scary darkness did not go away.
Pop. Pop.
The sound of blood and flesh falling from the ax hitting the ground was eerie.
It was an overwhelming sight.
Neither fire nor moonlight nor thunder could penetrate the place where Yeonhojeong was located.
He stood wrapped in darkness. In a fantasy realm where not a single ray of light enters, it seemed like there was only one.
Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.
“Hojeong.”
The son is an extraordinary future, and the child who returned from living in the past is.
What are you looking at while standing in that alien place? What are they thinking and what kind of future are they looking at?
Even Yeonwi, who had begun to live a more exemplary life than any parent in the world who had begun to fully understand his child, now found it difficult to read his son’s mind.
But I understand one thing.
‘Are you sad?’
My son was sad.
The reason was unknown. On the contrary, if he was so angry that he was screaming and screaming, I would have been worried but I would have understood.
But are you sad? Why is my son so sad?
Even though he has returned to the past, does he feel sad after seeing his old enemy again and realizing his miserable fate of having to live a life full of blood?
Are you sad that you can’t be a demon like you used to be? Or is he sad because he realizes that he has already gone beyond his limits?
Why is my son sad?
“Are you here?”
Yeonwi looked at Yeonhojeong in surprise.
Suddenly, the darkness that had been wandering around my son disappeared. There was the sad, exhausted face of my son.
Yeonwi walked towards Yeonhojeong.
Jeez. Jeez.
The sound of the father’s footsteps was heavy, as if it represented his own state of mind.
The distance from my son was never far. Yet, Yeonwi felt far away, as if the distance was 90,000 miles away.
Slowly narrowing the distance that felt so far, Yeonwi’s eyes looked beyond Yeonhojeong.
‘…!’
There was a man there who was horribly broken.
Surprisingly, the man who had already lost his human form was still alive. I don’t know how they handled it, but even though his limbs were torn into dozens of pieces and his abdomen was opened, he was still breathing, albeit slightly.
It was truly a terrible sight. It was like looking at a corpse left behind by an animal.
‘….’
Yeonwi closed her eyes.
And when I opened my closed eyes again, my son was in front of me.
Yeonwi asked calmly.
“How is your body?”
“it’s okay.”
I expected the answer to be okay. Nevertheless, Yeonwi felt that her son’s voice sounded strangely unfamiliar.
Yeonwi once again looked at someone who was not dead, or not dead.
Wiggle. Wiggle.
I’m still alive, but there isn’t much left. You will run out of breath before half an angle passes.
Yeonwi’s eyes turned to Yeonhojeong again.
The son’s once bitter face suddenly became expressionless. It would also be okay to say that I have become insensitive.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t a human face. It was like looking at a wooden doll that resembled a human figure.
‘….’
There were many things I wanted to ask. There were a lot of things I wanted to hear.
Yeonwi, who was quietly watching Yeonhojeong, snatched the ax from his hand.
Ting!
The damaged hatchet fell haphazardly on the floor.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Yeon Wi.
“father?”
“It’s an ugly thing. “Holding something like that makes your face look so ugly.”
It wasn’t that it was ugly because it was an axe. It is said to be ugly because the blood on it is filled with the vengeful spirit of an unknown enemy and the anger spewed out by Yeon Ho-jeong.
Grumbling.
Yeonwi’s hands, which held the axe, were also filled with blood. But he didn’t care.
Yeonwi held Yeonhojeong’s hand with a clean, blood-free hand.
“let’s go.”
He led Yeonhojeong and walked towards the Murim Alliance. Yeon Ho-jeong held his hand and walked as his father led him.
‘He’ didn’t say anything as he took his son with him, following in his father’s footsteps.
It was not a beautiful night.
